Sri Lanka does not have the means to operate in the same way China does. (Friedman, Thomas online)

Answer:

Sri Lanka does not have the means to operate in the same way China does (Friedman "Globalization" online).


Commentary:

The in-text citation does not need to include the first name of an author unless there are two authors in the Works cited that share the same name. This is not the case here. The only "Friedman" is Thomas. Therefore, no first name in the in-text citation is needed.

 

Note: Because the works cited page includes two different entries for Thomas L. Friedman, the in-text citation should make note of which entry the writer is referring to here.
